Abstract

An apparatus for moving transport containers ( 1 ) between a container stack ( 4 ) and a container rack ( 22 ) comprises a lifting device ( 2 ) that can be adjusted to a transport container ( 1 ) transversely to a lifting direction (H). For the apparatus to have a compact structure and reliably moves transport containers between a container stack and a container rack, irrespective of the fill level of said rack, and to be preferably suitable for manipulators of industrial robots, the lifting device ( 2 ) comprises a guide for moving the transport container ( 1 ) transversely to the lifting direction (H), and a sliding device ( 3 ), which is detachably translationally rigidly connectable to the transport container ( 1 ), is provided for moving the transport container ( 1 ) in the guide ( 19 ) between a lifting position and a position for being introduced into the rack.
